Electronics commitment to providing state-of-the-art solutions for today’s

This location can be up to 330 feet (100m).
The receiver unit’s USB ports connect to your USB peripherals. The
number of peripherals can be increased by using a standard USB hub.
The USB peripherals can be USB 1.1 devices (low-speed or full-speed) or
USB 2.0 high-speed devices operating up to 480 Mb/s. The receiver unit
can supply up to 500 ma per USB port for driving high-power USB devices.
Plug-and-play installation makes installing the transmitter and receiver
simple and easy. Connect the transmitter to the computers USB port,
connect the USB ports on the receiver to your USB devices, connect the
transmitter to the receiver with up to 330 feet of industry standard CAT5 or
better cable, connect the 24VDC power adapter to the Transmitter only and
power on the system. The Receiver unit receives its power via the CAT5
cable from the transmitter.
The USB devices will function normally as if they are directly connected to
